But does this also promote the "sacred text" world we live in? So many people arguing about the meaning of words written by people now dead. As though progress can only be made through reinterpretation (instead of just writing new agreements). The text is imbued with power it shouldn't have. The past binds the future with written agreements containing horrible ideas and thoughts, slowing progress. (I'll leave it to you to think of examples of those.)
